Look for a special issue of the
Newsletter in October to celebrate
TDI’s 40th Anniversary!!

Dear Associate Members,
Do you all realize this is our 40th year? Yes, we conducted our first visit 40 years
ago in New Jersey.
I was the youngest of the five foundation members. Lest we forget, it was the idea
of Elaine Smith. She had been working for one year in England where she had
encountered dogs and other animals in nursing homes. Once she got back to the United
States she did not forget what she had seen and eventually this led to our first visit.
TDI is the largest Therapy Dog Organization in the world. The word “Therapy Dog”
was first used by TDI. It was coined by Milton Wynn a former president of TDI. Now
all sorts of organizations have patterned themselves after what we had begun in 1976.
We never imagined from our early beginnings that the idea of our work would be
used not only nationally but also internationally.
We have and had some incredible people in our organization. People who have worked
very hard to bring us to where we are now. We are doing our work without seeking
fame (media attention). We visit in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, schools,
libraries, court systems, private residences and many more places. We have responded
after disasters since 1995. We just do our work which makes such a difference in
the lives of so many. We have seen millions of people and brightened their day by
visiting with our Therapy Dogs. After disasters we try to respond with our specially
trained Disaster Stress Relief Dogs and handlers. Helping people with the help of
our dogs after they have lost loved ones and sometimes all their possessions is a very
important part of this work. At the same time helping the helpers has become just as
necessary. Working with the children is also very important. They should have some
pleasant memories, not only the sad ones. On our last mission in West Virginia, in
the beginning of July, responding after the floods there we added something new.
We brought stuffed toys and balls and gave a toy to each child we saw while walking
through the devastated neighborhoods where families were working on cleaning
up their homes. The toys were treasured immediately. We will continue with this on
future missions.
One of our most important programs, “Children Reading To Dogs,Tail Waggin’
Tutors” is extremely successful and helps the children immensely. We are currently
completing a study of a new special test for working with children which will be
given in 2017. More about this in our next newsletter. We have so much work to do
as we grow way beyond what we ever imagined!
Thank you all for making it possible for so many people to enjoy the love of dogs
by sharing your Therapy Dog!
Best Regards,
Ursula Kempe
President

wasn’t that long ago when Breton
was just another well-
to perform specific tasks for a single
person. Service dogs are ultimately
paired with one person to do specific
jobs for that individual. Generally
speaking, service dogs are not
to be touched or played with by
anyone other than the person they are
assigned to assist.
Everett retold the events leading up
to Breton’s new life-changing career.
“The vet told me that Breton would
be perfect for a therapy dog,” said
Everett.
Service dogs help the visually and
hearing impaired, those suffering
from PTSD, and people diagnosed
with a wide variety of medical and
mental health conditions. Police and
military personnel have historically
used service dogs after undergoing
rigorous conditioning and training.
Dogs selected as service animals tend
to be larger breeds.
The Making of a Therapy
Dog
by Marilou Newell
mannered young man, or should I say
dog. But during a visit to the vet last
year, the 7-year old Shih Tzu and his
owner/handler Lenore Everett would
find their lives forever changed.
After doing some research on the
process for therapy dog certification
and discussing it with Breton, who
agreed it sounded like a cool idea,
Everett contacted Therapy Dogs
International. The rest is history.
Although it stands to reason that
dogs that are successful in achieving
certification must have the right
temperament and personality for the
task, the handler must also be equal
to the task. Everett said the first time
she and Breton tested for certification,
it didn’t work out.
Everett explained that part of the
program includes a simulated nursing
home setting. As the dog and handler
proceed through seven stations within
the simulated setting, the dog must
be able to sit, stay, lay down, come
when called, and ignore a variety of
distractions from food being offered
or dropped on the floor, to loud
noises, sudden movements, and
mobility appliances.
Everett received some important
pointers from a TDI evaluator that
helped make their second attempt
at certification successful. The
dynamic duo put the unfortunate
“hamburger incident” that had caused
the first certification test to come to
an abrupt end into perspective where
it belonged, a legend never to be
spoken of again.
The process from beginning to
end took the team four months to
complete.
Not to be confused with service dogs,
therapy dog training and certification
provides opportunities for dogs and
handlers to interact on a variety of
levels within group settings as well
as one-on-one interactions such as
reading programs, visiting schools,
nursing homes, calming anxious
children, and post natural disasters
stress relief. Therapy dogs provide
psychological and physiological
comfort and may be any size or breed.
Therapy dogs may also begin training
at any age. Service dogs, on the
other hand, begin training as puppies
for upwards of two years and learn
The type of training these two
categories of helping dogs undergo is
comparable only as far as obedience
training is concerned. Both categories
require that the dogs pay attention
to their handler, take direction and
conform to needs they are trained to
deal with, and remain focused on the
task at hand.
A service dog’s training is vastly more
specialized and intensive than that
of a therapy dog. Nonetheless, the
generosity of spirit common in therapy
dogs is undeniable.
“When Breton goes into a nursing
home, he makes everyone smile
including the staff. They need that,
too,” said Everett. “I can’t put into
words what this means to us or to
the people we meet,” she said while
adding, “Sometimes people who
haven’t uttered a word in a long time
will speak to Breton, or children who
are afraid of dogs will pat him.”
Breton’s eyes expressed his deep
commitment to making people happy
and seemed to say, “That’s just how
I roll.”

Changing Lives
by Lynn Michalson
P
ractically everyone who does
therapy dog work has had a patient
say to them, “This is a wonderful thing
that you do. I’d love to do it, too.”
And they ask how to go about it, what
the process is.
Most of the time, I give a silly answer:
“Well, you have to get a dog.”
They roll their eyes and are in a
hurry to get past the foolishness.
A spark is alive inside them, and
they are anxious for it to flame. So
I explain to them, seriously and in
detail, the requirements, the effort,
the commitment. Some are quickly
discouraged; they had no idea of what
is involved.

But others, a few others, soak up
the information I give; they begin to
“taste” it. They make vows. I am the
witness.
What happens next, I don’t know.
My visit ends. When my dog and I
return the following week, patients
have gone home, others have been
admitted. But I always have something
to wonder about, and to hope for.
Maybe they’re actually doing it. Maybe
they and their dogs have set out on
this journey of help and care. Maybe
their lives have been changed. And
maybe my dog and I had something
to do with it. How grateful we all can
be to consider such a possibility.

They Just Know
by Mary Lee Berger
W
e work at
the hospital every
Thursday. The
same volunteers
work the front
desk every
Thursday, so we
have become
friends.
One volunteer had failing health and
was in and out of the Hospital and
the nursing/rehab home. We visit the
nursing home on Mondays, We would
make sure we visited her wherever she
was. She loved Casper very much and
was so glad to have his visits.
One Wednesday night, another
volunteer called and said our friend
was being moved from the hospital on
Thursday to home hospice. I told her
I would get there as early as I could.
We arrived early, but our friend had
died a few hours before our arrival.
Our friend had been on the 5th floor
where we start our visits.
When we arrived on the 5th floor,
I headed to the nurses station to
ask which patients we should visit.
Before we got to the station, Casper
stopped so abruptly I almost tripped
over him. He has never stopped like
that in the two years we have been
doing Therapy visits. He looked into
the room he had stopped at. He never
looks into a room until he knows we
are going into it. I then realized it
had been our friend’s room. He stood
there and slowly lowered his head.
His head stayed lowered for a while,
at this point I had tears running down
my cheeks. Casper finally raised his
head and walked to the nurses station.
He knew it was our friends room and
she had passed away.
All of us with Therapy Dogs have a
saying; They just know.

Saying Good Bye
All of us together, whether we know or have known each other personally or not, are and have been part of something which is good, is alive and growing.
TDI has been perpetuating itself since the beginnings in 1976 so many are and have been part of this by adding to this “Building”. The message of
Therapy Dogs has spread. Through the dedication of people with their dogs, we are learning and understanding that there is so much more to be done
for the good of all, whether it is for humans or for dogs. By contributing our work with the help of our dogs, all of us in our unique way, have and are
making a difference for the good of all Mankind.
Thank you and Good Bye to you who have completed your work here on earth. You have left behind something which has made it worthwhile to have
been part of in this world. You will be missed and remembered as having been part of something which is greater then any work of each individual alone!

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this
side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to
this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are young again. They play all day with each
other. There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special
person who loves them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until
the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose
twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly
runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special
friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face
is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the
eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together
never to be separated.

Newsletter Submission
Guidelines
TDI wants to hear about your visits! We publish stories and photographs that grab and engage the reader, as well
as portray the healing power of Therapy Dogs. Before you submit your work, follow these guidelines.
• Photographs of people must be accompanied with a photo release form (available online).
• Photographs should be printed on quality paper.
• Photographs should be properly labeled, i.e., identify the dogs or people in the picture.
• Stories must contain few or no mistakes (proofread).
• Stories should be to the point and the author must illustrate solid examples throughout the story, i.e., show a
visit, don’t summarize one.
•
• A hospital, nursing home, etc. is full of sights, sounds, people, and emotions. We want you to capture all
these details.
